Cliffside Faith: The Wonders of the Hanging Monastery

#springitinerary The Hanging Temple is constructed with wooden beams inserted into the cliff face, supported by hidden posts and cantilever techniques. Comprises 40 halls, pavilions, and walkways connected by narrow bridges and staircases. The entire structure is anchored to the rock with mortise-and-tenon joints, without nails or modern reinforcements. Built in late Northern Wei Dynasty (~6th century AD), with many restorations over time.
